Subject: "Weekly Status : <Name> : <Date>"
Blockers/Risks/Asks For Others
* What is keeping you from getting work done (note: status report is not a valid entry) :-)
* What risks are you seeing coming up, what might keep from getting work done
* Specific items that you need from your manager or others on the team
Accomplishments, And Key Updates:
* What did you complete this week?
* Not just what jira's or github issues you focused on (although that is needed)
** But what did you accomplish, complete, figured out
** Just a bunch of links does not help anyone...
* Blogs you've written <with links>
* Conferences prepared for, perhaps links to presentations, etc...
* Tech you've investigated, or interesting articles
* Efforts with other teams/groups
* Important meetings, discussions, etc... I.e. "Met with OpenShift dev team to discuss X"
* Anything else you'd like to share
* Overhead items (Compass, HR, etc...) that dragged you down
Next Steps:
* What is on the schedule between now and the next report
* What areas will you focus on, release, community efforts, etc...
* Similar to but likely not as detailed as key updates because they have not happened yet.
** Pro Tip: I often cut/paste last weeks "Next Steps" and start with that as my "Accomplishments" then add details.
